Chapter 30: Tremors in Numerous Peaks

After the Nascent Soul Stage expert of the Inner Peak killed the manifested True Body of Heavenly Demon.

Fan Mo returned to Little Lingxu Peak.

His face had turned extremely unsightly.

It wasn't just because Little Lingxu Peak had suffered tremendously during this calamity, but also because the cultivators at the Qi Cultivating 7th level and above in charge of management had been targeted by the Heavenly Demons and almost entirely wiped out. The lower-ranked Qi cultivators also suffered during the first wave of black Qi erosion. Most of those who survived were disciples in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivating.

Based on the data, less than 70% of the disciples on Little Lingxu Peak survived. In this wave of Heavenly Demon invasion, over two hundred Outer Sect disciples met their untimely deaths.

Fortunately, the Nascent Soul stage expert had taken action. If he had been any later, there would have been even more casualties.

The second reason for Fan Mo's unsightly expression was that he had abandoned the disciples of the peak and fled during the crucial moment.

Although this was a necessary action to save his own life, it had made him subject to denunciation from many Outer Peak Masters in the Great Hall of the sect; they accused him of fleeing in the face of danger and being unworthy of his position, demanding that he relinquishes the position of Peak Master.

Although the sect leader had temporarily suppressed the proposal, Fan Mo knew that he had left a bad impression in the eyes of the sect's high-ranking members.

On the other hand.

At this moment, Han Yi had already left Little Lingxu Peak long ago.

After the Nascent Soul stage expert left, Han Yi didn't dare to linger for even a moment. Fearing that there might still be hidden dangers on Little Lingxu Peak, he immediately followed and descended the mountain.

In fact.

At this moment, most of the disciples on Little Lingxu Peak did not dare to stay either. They all ran away as fast as rabbits.

Although the battle seemed to be over on the surface, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall, and cultivators are no exception.

The place Han Yi chose to go was the Vermilion Bird Peak.

As one of the nine Inner Peaks, and the location of the sect's administrative Great Hall, Vermilion Bird Peak was bustling with people coming and going. It did not restrict access.

Most importantly, the Vermilion Bird Peak, being one of the top three Inner Peaks, had a Golden Core stage cultivator present all year round.

Han Yi was fast. When he arrived at Vermilion Bird Peak, he saw other Outer Sect disciples arriving one after another.

Most of these disciples were from Outer Peaks near Little Lingxu Peak, while a few were from Little Lingxu Peak itself.

These disciples from other Outer Peaks had witnessed the battle on Little Lingxu Peak and didn't feel safe, so they ran to Vermilion Bird Peak for refuge.

As for the Middle Stage Qi Cultivators from Little Lingxu Peak, most were, like Han Yi, still frightened and pale. It was clear that they had been thoroughly scared and had not yet recovered.

"What on earth happened?"

"I don't know. I just know that Little Lingxu Peak suffered a lot. Many fellow disciples were attacked, and only two or three out of ten managed to escape."

"How could the True Body of Heavenly Demon be manifested? Damn it."

Han Yi was happy for Chu Jinmo from his heart, and at the same time, he felt a little envious.

If he was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, he could stay in the Inner Peaks.

Among the nine Inner Peaks, there were usually Golden Core Stage cultivators stationed, and if not, the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators stationed there were still quite strong.

The formations of the nine Inner Peaks were interconnected, and unless multiple Golden Core Stage enemies attacked, it was impossible to shake the Inner Peaks' formations.

Such a situation had never happened since the establishment of Xuandan Sect thousands of years ago.

In short, the Inner Peaks were an unshakable stronghold.

Chu Jinmo was still wearing the gray robe of the Outer Sect and had not yet changed to the Inner Sect's attire. Her aura was unstable and much higher than before, clearly indicating that she had just broken through recently.

In this situation, it was more than obvious.

When Chu Jinmo saw Han Yi, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Why are you here, Junior Brother Han?"

"I heard from Junior Sister Yan that you were in closed-door cultivation."

Han Yi spread his hands and gave a bitter smile: "What closed-door cultivation? Little Lingxu Peak had an incident, and I'm not in the mood for it."

What Han Yi said was the truth.

He originally planned to enter closed-door cultivation to focus on cultivating the Spirit Void Finger, trying to break through to the next level. He estimated that it would take about three months.

However, before he could enter closed-door cultivation, the Heavenly Demon invasion occurred.

He was grateful that he was not in closed-door cultivation at that time; otherwise, it might have been even more dangerous.

After that incident, Han Yi felt a bit fearful.

His premise for closed-door cultivation was that Little Lingxu Peak had to be safe and stable, but now this premise had been broken.

So, during this period, he felt a little uneasy and went around inquiring about the truth of the battle.

"Oh, right, I forgot that you live on Little Lingxu Peak. Luckily, you didn't get hurt."

Chu Jinmo frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak up.

"I happen to know some truth about what happened on Little Lingxu Peak."

"And this incident involves more than what meets the eye."

"Also, rest assured, Junior Brother Han, I heard from Uncle Shi that the sect's powerful cultivators have already inspected the place once, and they've activated the sect's great formation that spans across the mountain range. I believe that there won't be any incidents involving Heavenly Demons again."

"However..."

At this point, Chu Jinmo paused before continuing to speak.

"However, the sect might issue a recruitment order soon, so Junior Brother Han, it's better to be prepared in advance."
